The last two-thirds Of Robert Inger-
soils tribute to the memory of Beecher
is fine specimen of blank verse, as the
reader will readily discover by the
simple process of scanning it. 1t is
moreover, a contribution to our litera-
ture, which, properly classified will do
much to raise the average of American
poetry. Mr., Ingersoll. consciously or
unconsciously, has fallen into this trick
of metrical expression in the form of
prose number of times before. But
this is master-stroke, and there is no
good reason why it should not appear
in its appropriate garb in type. ---Er.

"Of all the utterances made by DR..
McGlynn in his statement to the press
at Buffalo last week, none attracted more
general attention than that about the
establishment of Papal Nuncio at
Washington. DIR. McGlynn protested
to say, 'on the highest authority that
the Roman church government was de-
sirous of having Minister from the
Pope accredited to and received at
Washington; that such minister would
be an Archbishop-one of the italian
ring as he put it-whose presence
would be "a fruitful source of corruption
and enslavement of the Catholic church
in this country The efforts that have
been made to obtain an authoritative
answer to this allegation were not sue
cessful until the following statement
was authorized by Cardinal Gibbons,
who is the highest Roman Catholic
authority in the United States. First,
the Holy See has up to this moment ex-
pressed no intention of sending Nuncio
to this country, and, second, the Holy
See does not entertain such an inten-
ton. -

never presented itself to any other
country before since the creation of the
world. The fiscal year 1887 ended
Thursday, and at II clock the last of
the bonds which the Government could
redeem at its option matured. Here
after, until new legislation is had, the
ingenuity of our financial officials will
be taxed to devise means to spend the
Governments income wisely. In every
other country the problem is to make
income meet necessary expenditures.
The situation is novel one, but we
have faith that the Treasury Depart
ment will prove equal to the emergency.
Law, public sentiment and common
sense point out the way in which most
of the surplus for the coming eight or
nine months can be prudently discussed.
The now university president, Mr..
Chamberlain, comes to his position I'M
der very favorable circumstances. He
has as manly and law-abiding a set of
students to deal with as can be found in
any university. For years no trouble
of any serious kind has ever disturbed
the university. They are certainly i'm
proving in general manners. Patrick
Walsh, janitor at University Hall for
over thirty years, said to the writer:
1.-The byes are gintlemen now. Ye
should "A seen them twenty years ago.
All they were woild linens thin"
Mr.. Chamberlain will not be charged
with any part of the plot that removed
President Bascom. We have not heard
q student speak of him except in the
kindest terms. He is man of pleas
ing manners, and of high teaching
ability in bis special line = geology.
The Journal damns him with the praise
that he is good politician.
Whatever Mr. Chamberlain is, we
hope he will not attempt to conceal
ANYTHING of himself to his students.
We hope he will be good politician"
in that he has no policy of which he
may be be ashamed. We once saw q
Wisconsin college well nigh wrecked.
by adopting president who tried to
xyesr two faces before the students.
They saw clear through him from the
bald spot on his head TO his boot-soles,
hofore he had fairly settled himself in
his presidential chair. A college presi-
dent can fool college boys about as well
az an ostrich can hide by sticking its
head in the sand.
We do not suppose that Mr.. Cham
berlain is anything but large minded,
candid man, and to ask him to be one
half the success that President Bascom
has been would be asking large things

Portland School for the Deaf.

To the Editor Of the Press:
Sec. 1877 of chap. IL, Revised Statutes of
Maine, as amended by chap. 1858 of the public
laws of 1875 provides that the State shall pay
$500 per annum tor the instruction and sup
port of the unfortunate children who attend
the above school. In past years, payments
have been made, one-quarter in March, one
quarter in June, and the remaining two
quarters in December Of each year. The
city receives $3.50 per annum of this money
for tuition, the remaining $120 goes to the
parents or guardians of thechildren for their
maintenance. and children resident in any
part of the State are eligible for admission
to this school,
As a matter Of fact, the larger number of
the pupils belong outside of the city, and are
boarded here by people who are dependent
in part, and in some cases almost wholly up
on the money thus received for their own
support.
No money has been received from the
state since June, 1886. The Legislature of
Maine has never been like Congress, remiss
about passing the necessary appropriation
bills. The message of the Governor. and
the report of the treasurer show that the
State has ample funds. The Legislature of
1855 provided for the years of 1856 and the
Legislature OF 1887 has met and adjourned,
and provided for 1878. The school has had
its first term for this year, and the children
are having their usual vacation, and still no
money.
There are three quarters now due, or $50
per capita to the city, and 500 to the parents
or guardians. The city may not need this
money, but the parents and people who are
boarding these children do. AS this is a
matter which concerns the public will some
one who is conyersant with the facts tell us
what the hitch" is, and where, if any, the
blame lies? II. w III.

The MINNEAPOLIS Tribune suea

j. Alden Blethen, formerly of Portland, is
now one of the editors and proprietors of the
Minneapolis Tribune, and he and his part
ner, Will E. Haskell, who is a son of the
editor of the Boston Herald, have lately
been sued for libel, $4,000 damages being
claimed. The suit is brought by j. M. Stew
art, an elder in the Presbyterian church and
owner OF real estate worth over $4,000. 900.
The Tribune said in its funny column
that Stewart has moved his office to lis resi-
dence up town because he was too stingy to
pay rent, and for saying this Stewart brings
the libel suit. But Mr.. Blethen has brought
counter libel suit against Mr.. Stewart for
100000. 1t appears that during the past
lew months paper called the News Letter
has printed several communications over
Mr.. Stewards signature rejecting upon the
integrity of Mr.. Blethen, hence the counter
libel suit by the latter. Mr.. Blethen says if
he wins he will donate the sum awarded him
to some city charity.

AsmaII Dogs Big Jump.

Yesterday Portland man, having business
on barque lying at one of the wharves, was
followed on board the vessel by his dog, a
Skye terrier weighing about ten pounds.
The gentleman went into the vessels hold
from which all the cargo had been removed
excepting two tiers of hogsheads of molasses
The small dog, up on the main deck. heard
his master speaking in the hold and started
to join him. The dog could see but one way
down and took it; he jumped. To the sur
prise of everybody who saw the leap the
dog landed on the hogsheads without be-
ing in the least injured and when his owner
left the vessel, the terrier followed as briskly
as he had come on board
